William Foord won the sterling silver pitcher for the 
high individual score in this event under the condi¬ 
tions imposed by the donor, R. H. Dunham. Mr. 
Foord’s score was 57 out of 60. 
One of the features of the afternoon’s program was 
a double target match between Lester S. German and 
W. Schuyler Colfax. German is probably the best pro¬ 
fessional double target shot in America, and has few 
equals either among amateurs or professionals. Colfax 
is not far behind German, but couldn’t seem to get 
going yesterday, falling down’ frequently on his second 
targets. German’s total was 46 out of so, while Colfax 
scored 40 out of 50. A return match will be staged be¬ 
tween the two later. 
To the ladies of the Nemours Trapshooting Club the 
gunners were indebted for one of the finest lunches 
that could be prepared. Especial preparations had been 
made for the affair. The committee in charge of the 
arrangements for the lunch was composed of Mrs. F. 
W. Wilson, chairman, and Mrs. W. A. Joslyn and Mrs. 
G. F. Lord. The dance committee of the Nemours Club 
was also on hand and did a thriving business in dis¬ 
posing of tickets to their annual dance, which will be 
held in November. This committee consisted of Miss 
Alice Riley, chairman, and Miss Lannan and Mrs. 
W. A. Joslyn.
